Today, after I explained to my waitress that I have an allergy to butter, she nonetheless put some on my baked potato. When I had her get me another, without butter, she came back with one and then asked if I would like butter with it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while waiting tables, I watched a woman pull the bacon off her roast beef melt and eat it. She then called me over and spent several minutes complaining about the our chefs' inadequacy because they didn't put bacon on her sandwich. FML
Today, a customer had an allergic reaction to the almonds in the sundae I made for her. We're supposed to put the almonds on unless the customer asks otherwise. She complained to my boss that I'd poisoned her. FML
Today, I had a violent allergic reaction to some bread I ate at a restaurant. How did they apologize? By sending me a free basket of bread. FML
Today, at my work in a self-service chinese restaurant, a lady came up to me, pointed to the plate she loaded with honey king prawns, and yelled at me because she was allergic to seafood. She demanded a refund and another plate. Everything is clearly labeled. FML
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML
Today, I was on a blind date with a girl my friend set me up with. We went to a fancy restaurant and she ordered the shrimp. I told her, "I'm allergic to shrimp, so you shouldn't order it in case I want to kiss you later." She looked at the waiter and said, "I'll have the shrimp." FML
Today, a woman threw a sandwich at me, told me to go back to "fucktard island" and demanded to see my manager. All because the mayonnaise sandwich she ordered, shockingly enough, had mayonnaise in it. FML
Today, while working, a woman complained that she didn't ask for sauce on her sandwich. After examining the sandwich, I realized it was just melted cheese. When I told her, she threw the sandwich at me. FML
Today, at work a customer bitched me out for not explicitly telling her that our peanut butter pancakes contain real peanut butter. She's threatening to sue because she's allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I got a client who ordered ice cream. She seemed really nice and I thought maybe she was into me. When I asked if she wanted peanuts for an additional 50 cents, she said no. Trying to be nice, I added them anyway free of charge. I later had to call the ambulance. She was allergic. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

some people are a bit thick headed.

It was probably just a mechanical response. When you deal with customer service it tends to happen.

The FML clearly states that OP is allergic.

I'm just wondering why you felt the need to tell her about your allergy. a simple "no butter" would have been fine. we really don't have all the time in the world to hear everyone's life story on why and what they can and can't have. on another note, your waitress sounded like she was just in her zone, trying to get her job done correctly.

#35, It's important for a waiter/ waitress to know those sorts of things about the customer. Butter is pretty common, so there's a good chance that it could be in other food. Saying "I'm allergic to butter" only has 2 more words. Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your health. If you don't care about the customer, then you probably shouldn't be a waiter/ waitress.

Oh I care but like I said, maybe it's just who I wait on that they want to waste 5 minutes of my time instead of saying , no whatever it is. I'm allergic.

I think the "explained that I have an allergy to butter" was more of a "no butter, I'm allergic" type of thing.

Explaining that one has an allergy doesn't take even close to five minutes #42. Come on now.

@35. When you tell a waitress that its due to allergies your not giving her your life story. Your hoping that by knowing her and the kitchen will be moe vigilant.

Well maybe it's just who I wait on that take 5 minutes to tell me why they cant have something. instead of no butter, I'm allergic, I get a whole earful on it.

Some people just like to talk. If it wasn't about their allergies you'd get a 5 minute explanation on why they picked the dish they did.

#41 You shouldn't be in customer service.

She might of been nervous. Waitressing is quite the nerve racking job.

don't order a baked potato without butter, that's stupid. ydi

No, you're ******* stupid. For starters, OP is allergic, you *******, who says they can't have baked potato? Second, just because you like butter on your baked potato, doesn't mean that's the case with everyone else.

All I can imagine is anti-butter discrimination. "We don't accept your kind." OP is having to buy back alley baked potatoes from shady cooks.

10, I'm drunk, and I think that's stupid.

people like you piss me off. every little thing that a waitress does doesn't have to be announced to their managers. first of all the managers have tons of other shit going on during their shift to care if she asked you for butter when she initially got your order right anyways and secondly YOU CAN FIX YOUR OWN PROBLEM BY TALKING TO THE WAITRESS YOURSELF. you don't have to ******* tattle on them.
